Joe Valentic is a Catholic husband, father, entrepreneur, author, and servant leader for Catholic non-profits. He is blessed to be married to Julie and together they have 7 living children, two with the Lord, 5 grandchildren, and 6 Godchildren. He is a lifelong resident of Metro Detroit.
Joe has recently launched The Catholic Curator (www.catholiccurator.com) which is a Catholic business platform helping Catholics to be the best they can be in their business and faith lives. The platform curates the best in Catholic and business learning resources and collaborations, to help Catholics become the fullness of who God created them to be.
He has recently published his first book the Warrior Prayer Manual.
The Warrior Prayer Manual is unlike any other prayer book in existence. It uniquely combines specially curated prayers, images and meditations to help people to fight the battles of life and to fight for the ultimate victory, to become saints of God. The powerful selection of prayers is matched by incredible artwork and quality printing. Every page has full color glossy images on thick paper, with classic looking parchment background, and beautiful text formatting. Everyone that picks up the book immediately praises the visual beauty and quality. After praying with it many people tell us how perfectly the visual quality complements the unique selection of prayers. The prayers include some well-known classics, but also many lesser-known prayers of the saints specially curated for the battles we face. It also includes a limited selection of prayers written by the author that help people address different seasons of life on their journey to sainthood, as a lay person. While the manual was created for men, it has also been widely received and acclaimed by women who are seeking to fight the good fight!
The book has been endorsed by Father Donald Calloway, MIC, Author of Consecration to St. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father
“In the Breviary we read: "We are warriors now, fighting on the battlefield of faith.” Christians are called to love God above all things, and defend and fight for what is good, true, and beautiful. The Warrior Prayer Manual will inspire and help men to live their calling to be warriors for Christ. This prayer manual encourages men to put on the full armor of God and use the spiritual weapons given to us by God, that is, the Holy Eucharist, Confession, Sacred Scripture, Our Lady, St. Joseph, and the saints. May men today live an authentic Catholic masculinity and be victorious in spiritual battle!”
